POYNTON & POYNTON

In the matter of *Poynton & Poynton*, Benjamin J of the Family Court of Australia considered orders relating to a child, B. The dispute concerned the arrangements for B's time with their mother, with the court ultimately vacating a previous order.

The primary legal issue before the court was the determination of appropriate parenting orders for the child B, specifically in relation to time spent with the mother. This involved considering the best interests of the child in light of the circumstances presented.

Benjamin J made orders in accordance with a minute of order signed by the parties. These orders included vacating a prior order from 3 July 2014 that stipulated B would spend time with the mother. The court also directed that particulars of the obligations created by the new orders, the consequences of contravention, and information on assistance for compliance be set out in an attached Fact Sheet, which would be incorporated into the orders. The Independent Children’s Lawyer was requested to provide an electronic version of the minute of order in word format.
